but they work in this HD to!Hope some will work.But do remember that there is a counter going up every time you use a cheat.BUT for some freaky way, the numbers dont effect anything ingame.So savely to use the codes, hope they will help.

There is an effect. It fasts forwards ur in game day counts. During those game days, a lot of things could happen.

Case in point for me. Did some cheats which resulted in the game fast forwarding me 500 days. What happened was that from starting with 6 organic controlled sectors, I was left with ONLY the sector I'm in being free of Dominators. The other sectors have all been taken over by the Dominators.

Sure, you can still win. But it takes a lot of effort n tricks lol. So keep that in mind before using cheats. Its basically a balanced handicap thing.You get ur cheats, the AI gets more time to do things without you being able to do anything.

Also a good way to test yourself whether you can survive impossible odds if you have all the Top tier items n weapons.

There are a few additional cheats not listed in the large list."lowcostweapon" gives a random weapon at planet equipment screen for about 10 credits or less."artefact" gives a random artifact in hyperspace (must be spelled as shown)"coolweapon" offers a high end weapon in planet equipment screen

It helps to save first then use the CTRL-Shift code. If you don't like what you get reload saved game and try again. You can get a really cheap, nice weapon with small size if you keep trying "lowcostweapon".

To further clarify vradeenian's post, I feel it is worth a mention that the cheat codes will only advance time if you haven't played much. It uses a 'cheat point' system, where 1 in game day = 1 cheat point. So in a full in-game year, you get 365 cheat points.

Therefore for some, it may be best to do some trading and courier missions just to pass the time. If you cheat ahead, the enemies get a boost because they will move to capture things (pirates and dominators) but the coalition doesn't have the technology needed to stop them, and they only get tech increases by you (and other rangers) killing dominators.

I typically wait until year 3 or 4 before using cheats. If you're curious, however, here are some numbers so you can pick and choose based upon your current time played in game.
